Why it's loved:
It's been an American tradition since the mid 1950's when Hickory Farms' founder Richard Ransom grew restless. Already a successful cheese maker and connoisseur, he couldn't find the perfect summer sausage to compliment his rich and savory creations. So he went to his kitchen and worked tirelessly to come up with the perfect sausage. With 100% premium grain fed beef, hickory smoke flavor, a hint of mustard and a dash of paprika, we think he succeeded and today it's rated the #1 Summer Sausage in America.

How to serve it:
Slice it thin and enjoy it on crackers or with cheese. Cube it for a filling snack.

Makes a great gift for:
Perfect for anyone who loves sausage, entertaining or for sending care packages to friends and family.
